Loving this match-up so far. Both stalk the baseline – every shot has to be hit with intent or it gets pounced on by the opponent.

Emma really should have won that point - bad error on her part.

I have never understood this. I never root for a player because of where they are from nor do I favor players from my home country. I have always found nationalism odd.
Sure. I would root for Federer and Henin against Americans, but I would most likely root for most Americans otherwise.

I just never really got attracted to British players, with the exception of few Manchester United players.

I wish they would change the let rule to only when it bounces off the top of the net. Too many let calls!

The word that keeps popping into my head about Leylah is tenacious. The word for Emma is strong.

FWIW, Emma comes from a super-elite, private "grammar school" with a top tier tennis program. Leylah comes from a plain "two cars and a mortgage" background. So I kinda tend to root for Leylah. Just sayin'.

Grit, variety, lack of fear, good hitting - we have it all.

Though, Radacanu hitting two swinging volleys from the service line - big no.

I actually think Emma ought to have run back and hit it as a forehand to "steady the point".
